How to get chrom extension background page

[sushantmishra]

@yury-s Do we have a timeline for the next release , I mean by when we can expect this change to be available for use ?

[yury-s]

It didn't make it to 1.43, so the earliest release it will be available in is 1.44. We are going to push 1.43 in the next few days, so 1.44 will be in about a month.

Hi, as the doc shown. https://playwright.dev/java/docs/api/class-page

Page provides methods to interact with a single tab in a Browser, or an extension background page in Chromium. One Browser instance might have multiple Page instances.

But how can I switch to background_pages?
For now ,I have already loaded extension and this extension already display in the page, but I don't known how to switch to the extension.

from the https://playwright.dev/docs/chrome-extensions, I have use the same launchPersistentContext to launch the chromium with java version, but lack of browserContext.backgroundPages()

Looks like the method is not exposed in Java API, we can fix that.

Hi, yury-s How can I use the latest code for our project? could you give me some suggestion?

[yury-s]

This will be published in the next release. Before that you can build the project from source.
